Having narrowly lost their fourth and final game on tour the U16 tour party are finally able to enjoy some well earned rest and relaxation for the final few days of the tour.

The Siddal team found it pretty tough going on the pitch coming up against some first class Australian sides but tours such as this are about far more than just the rugby. The Siddal squad have received plenty of plaudits with members of the host clubs taking the time to get in contact to say what a credit to the club they are.

Those that have been following the teams exploits on facebook will know they also attended to a Manly training session meeting all the players and back room staff and were given loads of free merchandise from the head of NSW RL. As if that wasn't enough the match highlights made it on to TV along with an interview with Tour Captain Will Calcott.

With a trip to Bondi Beach, surfing lessons and plenty of other sightseeing opportunities it really has been a tour I'm sure none of the boys will forget.
